Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
Lyrics/Vocals - OldRottenHead (over at Soundcrafters.org). Music - Dave Berry. Recorded on Boss BR-1200, Epi Sheraton, Bass, Synth. Drums are played by me on my new Roland HD-1 (I have had it two weeks, timing is a little shaky, bloody hard this…
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing?
Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
A frightening thing, to go from being a man to becoming a Lobster-man.
Now Gather around me hearties
For I've got a sad tale to be told
Hoist the colors ye bilge rats
The call rang out, we were off for gold
Grog in our bellies, horn-pipes…
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work...
... but it does!
It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....
Reg has had a little too much to drink and decides to have a dance................while the piano players are at combat for supremacy......there's a rumble going on...............
Fathers Day on Sunday....
Thought I'd write a song for my son.
Here you go lad...
As the Sun shines....Lyrics
And my boy.....
You Smile so wide as the sun shines.
But you will keep your joy as the clouds try,
to stop our light…
it finally happened the guys from jemima's kite got together for a gig in otley yorkshire, with geir and osckilo joining in the festivities.
this was a wee practice before the event, with me on vocals and greeny on guitar and backing vox live…
Take me back to ole Virginia Lord, he's pluggin' in a mic.
I dig the cheesy Farfisa Rotary patch......
Here's a song to sing
a fairy tale
no mountain high
or oceans to sail
no darken nights
in the belly of a whale
no hammer's throne
or red…
Jean Jaques Burnel is one of my bass heroes. This song is the second I recorded with the new Squier bass. I kept the other instruments secondary to show off the bass
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
One could use this to compare the changes I made to accommodate the change in tuning because this is the Centaur tuned piece but I changed the master tuning back to "standard" 12 equal.
Full picture of the guitarron body - it sounded great - nicely deep.
The guitarron is fretless with a very short neck which reminds me of a giant Oud - the wikipedia article will give you an idea of just how huge this thing really is…
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…
On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Love this Dave sweet as a nut and brill playing ,, Dunny
I think you did a great cover of this song. I am a Neil Young fan also! :-)
One of your best vocals to date Dave. Nice work, and fine guitfiddle work.
Sweet tone and cool mix...thanks on talking blues
I like the 'Dave's touch'..! Very nice cover, man!
Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
I like it!
Interesting song!
hey, this is a damn fine tune!
hell yeah dave icame over to see all the fun.
I gotta agree with Henner. It is your best vocal. This one suits your stripped down sound perfectly.
Can't say I've heard this before from you Dave. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best vocal I've heard from you, BB. Must be a Canadian Thing!!
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing? Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
I've heard tell of this many times, but I have to admit I've never got round to listening to it before. Superb :-)
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work... ... but it does! It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
This is one of my all time favourite songs (though I've never heard The Band's version). Great cover - love the backing vocals, really effective.
Bring a bottle with you the doors open ...i cant get up to shut it.......
Great cover by the way
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....
